Instructions

Prepare the Churro Dough

Heat water, butter, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat and add all-purpose flour all at once, stirring vigorously until a smooth dough forms.

Shape and Fry the Churros

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Alternatively, use a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep pot or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Pipe 4-inch long churros into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Coat and Serve

While still warm, toss the churros in a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (chocolate sauce is recommended!).

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Churros

Use a good quality vegetable oil with a high smoke point for even frying and to prevent the churros from absorbing too much oil.
Don't overcrowd the pot when frying – this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy churros. Fry in batches if necessary.
Ensure your dough is smooth and comes away easily from the sides of the pan, otherwise your churros may be tough.
For extra crispy churros, you can let the fried churros cool slightly on a wire rack before coating them with sugar and cinnamon.
